Mexico’s Economy Grows 9.1% as Sheinbaum Promotes “Plan México” to Global Business Leaders

President Claudia Sheinbaum highlighted Mexico’s strong economic performance and outlined her government’s ambitious development strategy, “Plan México,” during a meeting with international business leaders representing 17 countries. The gathering, held at the National Palace, included prominent figures such as the CEOs of BlackRock and Salesforce.
Sheinbaum emphasized that “Plan México” aims to make the country one of the world’s top 10 economies by expanding domestic production, reducing dependency on imports from Asia, and creating 1.5 million new jobs. The plan also prioritizes food and energy sovereignty, alongside increased public and private investment.
At the same event, Finance Minister Édgar Amador Zamora announced that Mexico’s public revenue grew by 9.1% in real terms during the first nine months of 2025, reaching 4.63 trillion pesos. The increase was largely attributed to improved tax collection and anti-corruption efforts in foreign trade. Sheinbaum noted that the country achieved record-level tax revenue without raising rates, crediting citizens’ trust in transparent government spending.
In a lighter moment, Sheinbaum addressed questions about the proposed name of the new Mexico City–Nuevo Laredo train. She suggested the possibility of a public consultation to choose the final name, underscoring her administration’s commitment to civic participation in national projects.
